Zuheir, All: Given all the email exchanges and the rather slow (and uncertain) pace at which the CPP is progressing, I think that your proposal is the right one at this point. There are already several "major", multi-year solutions by all techniques, and we could at least discuss these at this meeting, something which was not done during any of the prior meetings. This way we can find the details of what everyone is doing for several years now and not try to reinvent the wheel. We too need to make the travel arrangements soon, so we would also appreciate it if a final schedule for this meeting was decided ASAP. Thanks, ecp Dr. Erricos C.
